Performance Tuning PHP Apps on Windows/IIS with Output Caching
In this article, I’ll show you how to improve the performance of PHP applications on Windows/IIS by covering the What, When, and How of using the IIS Output Caching module. As background reading (or for the condensed version of my post), I suggest reading this: Configure IIS 7 Output Caching (and I strongly suggest reading the introduction to that article).

Last week, Ruslan Yakushev announced the release of the 1.1 version of the PHP Manager for IIS. I thought a tour of the PHP Manager functionality might work best in video format.

Managing Multiple PHP Versions with PHP Manager for IIS 7
Some time back I wrote a post about how to run multiple PHP versions on the same server with IIS (Running Multiple PHP Versions with IIS). While running multiple PHP versions wasn’t complicated, it wasn’t a no-brainer either. Today, Ruslan Yakushev (a Program Manager on the IIS team at Microsoft), announced the beta release the PHP Manager project on CodePlex: PHP Manager for IIS 7 – beta release. Not only does the PHP Manager make it a no-brainer to run different PHP versions side-by-side on IIS, it makes it easy to register PHP with IIS, configure various PHP settings, enable/disable PHP extensions, remotely manage PHP configuration via the php.ini file, and check the PHP runtime configuration and environment (i.e. see the output of phpinfo()). Read his announcement for a complete tour of this release (and provide feedback!). I’ll just take a quick look at how easy it is to get multiple PHP versions running in this post.
